event

The event keyword is used to declare a delegate-type variable capable of raising events. When an event is raised through the event variable the target method is called through a predefined delegate. There are two components to an event: a delegate memeber and an event member. // the delegate that will hold a pointer to the target method // once the event is raised public delegate void EventDelegate(); // the event variable based on the delegate above public event EventDelegate MyEvent; private void Form1_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { // define what method will be called when the event is raised // by declaring an event handler this.MyEvent += new EventDelegate(EventDelegateTarget); } public void EventDelegateTarget() { // this method is called when MyEvent() is called } private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { // raise the event MyEvent(); }
